yeah i am lazyso whatand not just i am lazy to dig the shiti usually think that if i created things like libraries i would provide a nice simple and working examplewith no need to dig the things by myselfbtw i wrote pretty cool and short java tutorial for total newbs in russian

In that book, Brackeen explicitly decided to cover full-screen games and not windowed mode. He writes about the decision to do so on page 23 of my copy.

If there is going to be a way to fiddle with his code to make it windowed, I think it will be part of the class ScreenManager (referenced in this program sample). I took a look at it, but would have to do some digging (e.g., check definitions of GraphicsDevice, GraphicsEnvironment for starters) to say exactly if and how one could alter the code to make it work for windowed mode. It might be doable.

But if you want to have the animation display in a window, maybe just using a JPanel or JComponent for the display screen makes more sense. As far as I know, most of the "high speed" benefits of using his ScreenManager go away if you decide to put the game in a windowed mode. Maybe animating via Graphics2D and Swing/AWT would be sufficient.

The go-to libraries for high speed graphics these days seems to be LWJGL, and LibGDX which relies on LWJGL wrapper to OpenGL. These can be made to work in a windowed environment.

P.S. You used to have a Milla Jojovich avatar, yes? I'm curious where that photo came from. Was it one of her movies? (Which one?) I've recently become a fan.

P.P.S. Congratulations on recent alcohol avoidance reported on another thread.

M77 has also made several posts unrelated to the topic, but they remain in the thread. But maybe they were warranted or something, but its really hard to follow this thread.
